The neuron receives impulses from other neurons at the:
A
axon
B
dendrite
C
Node of Ranvier
D
synapse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites of a neuron are the first ones to receive electrical impulses. The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to the dendrites, which bring information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dendrites receive impulses from sensory receptors or other neurons and send them towards the cell body, which contains the nucleus. Impulses are then conducted along the axons full length away from the cell body to connect with the dendrites of another neuron, muscle, organ or gland of some kind.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites extend from the neuron cell body and receive messages from other neurons. Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another.
